At left-back is Manchester United’s out-of-contract Patrice Evra. The Frenchman has been strongly linked with a Bosman move to Turin this summer, and is reportedly close to signing a two-year deal.

Claudio Marchisio, Andrea Pirlo and ex-Red Devil Paul Pogba make up the midfield trio, with Arturo Vidal noticeably missing. It’s been suggested that either the Chilean, of interest to United, or Paul Pogba will be sacrificed to raise funds - and La Gazzetta seem to think it’s Vidal.

The trident attack is comprised of out-of-favour United winger Nani, one-time Old Trafford favourite Carlos Tevez and Barcelona wide man Alexis Sanchez - who is said to be Juventus’ top target this summer.

United influence is written all over this starting eleven, and by La Gazzetta’s assessment Juventus’ dealings will put a huge emphasis on Champions League experience and accommodate a 4-3-3 set-up.
